I was wondering about a few bard duos and their viability.
1. Bard / Druid
2. Bard / Enchanter
3. Bard / SK
4. Bard / Necro
Main concerns are
a. How fast and reliably they can kill stuff in dungeons together
b. Survivability in "oh shit" situations (if i'm deep in some dungeon can an enchanter really CC a group for long enough to get kills/make it out alive?)
c. How desired the non-bard classes i listed (dru, enc, sk, necro) are in high level dungeons and raids.
Have a good afternoon : D

1. a) You'll do well if the bard charms, even better if the druid charms, but will be limited to dungeons with animals (sol b bats for example).
b) druid can evac and bard can CC so as long as they're not asleep at the keyboard should be able to make it out alive.
c) druid is one of the least desired classes in dungeons because of all of the min-maxers.
2 a) As long as you decide who's pitching and who's catching, this could be your best combo. I'd recommend chanter charms and focuses on main target, while bard dances around and takes care of CC and dots.
b) both mezzes so they can take care of immediate harm, but with overwriting issues they can quickly make things as mess, communication is a must.
c) as long as the group isn't already almost full, you can get invites for both, otherwise people will want the chanter more because of the bard's xp penalty. In raids, less chanters and more bards but at least one of each.
3 a) As long as bard charms the kills will go fairly well, the SK can hold aggro and self-heal with taps, but not optimal.
b) SK can FD but bard should keep a gate hat handy.
c) As long as no other tank around can get this duo invited, but more likely just the bard will be wanted.
4) a) very powerful combo much like the chanter/bard one, but just have to be careful since no more song window for necro heal tricks. In undead dungeons dps can be very very good.
b) same issue as with SK
c) both are staples of raids, albeit with boring roles, in groups it will be tough to convince groups to invite the necro with all the competition for the DPS spots.
